Kassia Conway is an American actress.
Conway is Kassia Conway – a singer, writer, and a sayer of things that are on her mind and stuck in her side. She makes music that falls in the Venn-diagram sweet spot between pop and R&B, rock and hip-hop, accessible and arty. Drawing comparisons to Karen O, Debby Harry and M.I.A, Conway’s music has an attitude that pours out with every note and a truthful vulnerability as well.

Conway is Kassia Conway – a singer, writer, and a sayer of things that are on her mind and stuck in her side. She makes music that falls in the Venn-diagram sweet spot between pop and R&B, rock and hip-hop, accessible and arty. Drawing comparisons to Karen O, Debby Harry and M.I.A, Conway’s music has an attitude that pours out with every note and a truthful vulnerability as well.
Conway was raised on the south side of St. Louis. She grew up teaching herself to sing by mimicking a mix of Mary Poppins, Chaka Kahn and The Talking Heads. She snuck into rock and blues clubs to dance with her music-obsessed mom and as a teen she'd sneak herself in to underground punk and alt shows. For her, mixing music genres began early.
In 2014, the world was introduced to Conway when her self-made video for “Big Talk” went viral. She immediately signed with Columbia Records and toured with Ellie Goulding, St. Lucia and Charli XCX to name a few. She also collaborated with All Saints and Toms Shoes. Her songs have been heard on numerous shows such as Good Girls, Girls, Star Trek Into Darkness, RuPaul’s Drag Race, Revenge, Catfish, The Gambler, What If, MLB video games, The Kissing Booth and more.
After amicably parting ways with Columbia, Conway reorganized and began a new phase. She is now set to release her newest single, “Woman” from her forthcoming EP, “Quality of Life” as an independent AWAL artist. As always throughout her career, Conway is completely hands-on in the creative process - songwriter, musician, producer and more.
Conway has also created an app called The Woman Project inspired by the song "Woman". The Woman Project hopes to bring about dialogue, celebration and progress through representation. The app allows you to stream the track “Woman” and donates 20% of the proceeds to Planned Parenthood. It also allows users to take a selfie that becomes part of the Woman Project Exhibit and if you wish, make a donation to your favorite women’s organizations by clicking the ‘donate’ tab in the app. It is available for free in the App Store beginning July 27, 2018.
